Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@CrossExamined says : Listen to the full podcast here👉📱https://bit.ly/3Qxc5xq>> <<@avertingapathy3052 says : Respecfully some families are not worth being part off. Wish Conservatives/Christians were more open about what it means to "respect" parents and how to handle difficult cases with dignity. All this guy is doing is trying to point blame back at those who cut contact. Give me a break, clearly there are better and worse families and when a community in their faith is blind and unsupportive people leave.>> <<@signaturerush says : You have to give to get. My whole life I’ve been a brat and terrible to my parents, yet there love was so strong for me they could never really find it in their hearts to hit me or punish me as they did my brothers. during the summer I asked my mother about her family and her history and about my fathers history. There is so much pain that your elders willingly lock in their hearts, yet they tend to be defensive towards new strange ideas(Who wouldn’t be in todays world?). If you take a moment to stop being so self centered and listen, you’ll see the pain and the things they’ve been through. We ALL have problems, if we would just listen to eachother and have civil conversations before immediately trying to convert by shoving our ideas down their throat maybe we’d actually get somewhere and help eachother.>> <<@MilesP90X says : What's going on here?>> <<@beppiek says : Hey Frank can you exegesis this for me “While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭46‬-‭50‬ ‭ “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬-‭16‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Thank you>> <<@mkurosh says : Pride causes the blindness of mind.>> <<@dianereid5716 says : What about a cruel , verbally abusive family member who consistently does this to you or everyone they come across, Are we supposed to take constant abuse, or is the right thing to do is separate yourself from them.>> <<@dionwolfinbarger9908 says : “ Today, your family is whoever agrees with you” !!! Wow, that is a sad concept!!! How many times does your family members change when you don’t agree with somebody? A good family sticks with each other through thick and thin, through crisis and whether you agree with them or not !!! To considering somebody family, only if they agree with you, is not love at all. It is selfish motives. That is the worlds view of love. That is not love it all!!!>> <<@TheAnimeBlaze says : I made a mistake with my parents, tried to apologize but they considered everything to be an excuse. Got kicked out, they already started distancing themselves by not talking to me and when I called the police to negotiate getting my things, they cut me off completely. It’s been tough, but I keep my faith up.>> <<@GameCreatorOfGod says : I will give you all 100 percent Toxic love.>> <<@dannylinc6247 says : And this week i was worried about when people read a certain verse and find a meaning thats contrary doctrine. But theres people who dont even read a bible, and they think THEY judge YOU ? Theyre going down a very long road, and its sad you have to let them go. You can always pray that God puts His angels in their way. They'll have to make their own discovery before turning around to return. May Gods messengers keep them from harm or self harm. In the name of Jesus, Amen>> <<@lisasicari7543 says : I’m saved thanks be to Jesus, my daughter and her husband are not.I I love her, her husband and my grandchildren too much. I pray every day that they are saved. I just have to be>> <<@victorhoisington5603 says : Is self protection from toxic ideology, toxic indoctrination, toxic belief so wrong? In fact, just the arrogance of te ultra religious is reason enough to stay away!>> <<@fundyden4771 says : Unfortunately our kids have been brainwashed by the God less liberal left that have no moral compass.>> <<@walterdebnam8021 says : IT'S CALLED FALLING INTO THEIR PROJECTION AND DRIFTING DOWN A TRIBUTARY OF THEIR OWN IGNORANCE!>> <<@itsjustameme says : Usually I hear it from the opposite angle where it is religious people who exclude people from their family when they become atheists. But it is nice to see that at least some christians realize that this is not a nice thing to do and are speaking out against it. I usually don’t like Frank very much and it is rare I find myself agreeing with him.>> <<@jagged2tiger says : Christianity is a joke>> <<@djarmstrong23 says : It’s sick how many family members cut off their family members who don’t believe the same beliefs as them. Thanks for having the courage to say this.>> <<@robertramsey653 says : Something tells me that Frank would like to say stronger words on this subject. Seems like it really bothers him. It does me too, im in that situation.>> <<@bobbymack368 says : Christianity causes immense and unyielding guilt just for trying to be a normal human, it makes sense that people don’t want it in their lives.>> <<@NaomiSims-id2vn says : I find this quite judgemental on both sides.>> <<@Universal_Bias says : Chris: Hi, I'd like to be an atheist. John: Ok, do you oppose God? Chris: I guess but I never met him. John: Have you seen or heard from him? Chris: No. John: Has he harmed you in any way? Chris: No. John: So you've never seen him. Never heard from him. You've had no kind of interaction with him. How do expect to be an atheist? Chris: I guess I can't be. John: That's right son. Noone's really an atheist. They're simply not qualified. They too could find no god to oppose.>> <<@vaughnkingston6902 says : I've been cancelled by my family for my beliefs. Count the cost.>> <<@paulydwaboutit4326 says : Frank Turek's glasses make him look like he's a mechanic for nascar>> <<@Universal_Bias says : When you think your political/religious views are more important than any human, you have failed as a human. The article mentioned standing for truth while fighting for your family. Beliefs are likely 90% flawed compared to actual truth. So when you start to put man-made constructs & fragile beliefs before a supposed loved one, you fail. Plus, religion & politics been black-balling people since their beginnings so why cry now that the youth are choosing their own toxic beliefs to avoid yours? Choose Wisdom over beliefs. Then you'll know what the truth is.>> <<@walk4God says : Luke 12:52>> <<@Joe-dz7kj says : Romans 1:28 says it all>> <<@dustyk103 says : We are all born immorally ignorant leftists and must learn morality to mature to righteous adults. Those who do not learn and retain their backwards thinking are libtards who have closed minds and immoral hearts that see good as evil and evil as good. They are self-righteous hypocrites and two-faced fools. Just because someone becomes a Christian, or many who simply claim to be, they still sin and still fail. We must always strive to be better and get past our leftist flaws. When Jesus said, “Judge not lest you be judged,” he was not saying we cannot judge right and wrong, but that we have no right to judge who will go to Heaven or Hell as if we are God. It’s one thing to avoid people when they behave wickedly, but it’s another to push them away so they have no opportunity to learn. Just don’t give them anything they want. For example, I have a friend who wants me to discuss science and religion with him, but when I do, he becomes angry and abusive. He shows me “proof” that religion is false and refuses to listen to my proof that those from whom he learns are wrong, but then begs me to listen to him more. He’s not trying to learn but trying to turn me away from God. He apologizes just to inflict more of his abuse on me. That is toxic. He is trying to poison my mind and will not partake of the antidote to what is poisoning his mind. I can’t help him. Knowing me makes him worse, not better.>> <<@Andy-q4q8t says : I dont wanna be toxic!>> <<@stephaniezank7717 says : 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣so being an atheist my entire extended family of bible bashers disowned me. The absolute best day of my life!>> <<@histreeonics7770 says : I cut off my father because he would not admit to the physical abuse of my sister. I didn't even get to talking about his sexual and emotional abuse of me when he wouldn't admit to the out in the open stuff he did to my sister. Was I wrong and toxic? BTW: he was an honored member of the Temple. Most of the time Turek is blinded by his own inner light.>> <<@ScottRoberts-el2jn says : Don't never agree with frank, but he's right this time! I'm experiencing this right now!>> <<@azophi says : Remember to consider the many many examples of Christians refusing to go to their child’s wedding etc because they’re gay And that’s not even rare like . Literally I was told by my parents not to talk about my romantic life at all or take anyone to meet them… because I’m gay>> <<@JAA949 says : If one person cuts you off the problem might be with that person, if several persons cut you off you maybe should take a look at yourself for the answer.>> <<@EagleZoo says : If all the hypocrites are in the House of God and among the saints in the church, but you're still asleep on Sunday morning after a night of partying; who is actually closer to God?>> <<@Rabit_3A says : For once I actually agree with frank, I just think maybe it depends family is weird, its not always cut and dry so maybe you need to cut them out of your life. but most likely you don't need to>> <<@aaronmonroe7932 says : ●Matthew 10 (listening to Frank in this video about people cutting other people off, I wonder if Frank would agree with this verse if he lived 2,000 years ago.) 34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.>> <<@frankcardano4142 says : He’s talking about Christianity. The bible says to love Jesus more than your family. To not throw pearls to swine. To consider non believers fools and not to argue with them. What an ongoing source of laughter the bible is. 😂>> <<@brandonkester9699 says : and I quote " they know enough in their own mind" so using feelings instead of facts specific to that person>> <<@jesuspuente8405 says : Brother … at some point one has to cut toxic people off … one can’t be a fool>> <<@sawyer7as says : Love Frank but Father of Prodigal son doesn't seek his son in excess and self exile>> <<@onbored9627 says : Says the guy who says to throw homosexuals out of the church. XD>> <<@sachalg5720 says : Wow Frank you lose it more And more with the year... Its sad...>> <<@joshuakohlmann9731 says : I actually agree with Frank this time. Except I would extend what he says beyond families and to friendships and other social groups. Don't prejudge people anyway, and there's no need to cut them off for their beliefs unless you suspect harm resulting from those beliefs.>> <<@AtheosCity says : Toxic is Christianity, to humanity. Those that swallow it can help but be part of it. Gladly people are learning to think and Christianitys stain on humanity is slowly fading, a little every day.>> <<@arigoldberg8212 says : That's cancel culture for you. Leftists are the new Puritans, the new McCarthyism, the new Inquisition, the new Reign of Terror, the new Holocaust, the new slavery, the new poverty, basically everything bad.>> <<@Tk-iz2ws says : JESUS came to set father against son mother against daughter-in-law.... At this stage of the game all we can do is pray, pray & pray some more for our families. GOD bless..>> <<@dcarts5616 says : Was she referring to how Protestants handle Mormons?>> <<@rolandwatts3218 says : Whoa. Let's describe what else can cause this tragic situation, and stop pretending that the fault must be with those wicked adult children. The adult children often do know what the grandparents believe because they came out of the church system that the grandparents still belong to. And it proved to be very toxic and very traumatic for them. Given this, why on earth would they choose to expose the grandchildren to the same toxic environment? There is an assumption underlying Frank's and Natasha's arguments and the assumption is that real Christians have the truth and that their theologies are nothing but good, and can do no harm. But reality often shows otherwise. Give the above, adult children do sometimes/often find that when they let the grandparents look after the grandkids:- a. the grandparents try to feed the same toxic theology onto the grandkids and b. if the adult parents have tried to set boundaries, the grandparent simply ignore those boundaries. Given this, of course the parents will pull away. Another situation is then overly religious grandparents simply refuse to accept that their children (the adult parents) no longer believe. And whenever the adult parents and the grandkids visit, the visits become problematical and uncomfortable because the grandparents simply will not stop proselytizing. They want to save their adult children and the grandchildren. ^^ That might seem a noble enterprise but I don't think many Christians can stomach the fact that other people (including their own children) might have a different opinion when it comes to the nature of reality. And irony of ironies, no matter how much certain Christians cry about religious freedom, they certainly do not want it for other people, particularly their adult children and their grand kids. Remember, when it comes to the issue of salvation, avoiding hell, gaining heaven, and so on, Christians have never been able to universally agree. They disagreed 2,000 years ago. They disagree today. The very folk who call themselves "Christian" but whom you accuse of being "wolves in sheep's clothing" almost certainly see themselves as Christian and you as "wolves in sheep's clothing". I learnt that lesson a hard way, some 50 years ago. So what are you saving your adult children and grandkids to? No more than a theology another true Christian will look at and call - "damnable heresy". What I am not saying +++++++++++++++++ I am not saying is that no non-Christian adult children would cut their parents out because the parents are Christian. I am sure some do. I think I've heard of some who do. But there is another tragic side to this story I think both Frank and Natasha can't face. Earlier today I told my brother of a post I'd placed on Natasha's FB forum and he reminded me of something I'd forgotten. Years ago he told me of an acquaintance of his. Dad, mum, and kids. Problem is, one of the Grandparents is a religious fanatic. An absolute zealot. For the sake of the grandkids and their own peace of mind, they have had to cut off contact. Being convinced that you are correct and that your adult children are not, does not give you the right to attempt to dominate them, particularly when it comes to religious freedom. Maybe, just maybe you exposed them to religion in a manner that was extraordinarily damaging. OTOH, if you have been parents who were good to your children but they cut you off because of your faith, then I am so sorry. It's heartbreaking and distressing to have a child who is alive, but will not talk to you. I know from first hand experience. I live in hope.>> <<@rainmorga says : Isn't cutting off people who might disagree with you a sign that you are in a cult?>>
